| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver field bearing three lines of Persian-Naskh script arranged across the coin face, reading the auspicious regal legend invoking the Mughal emperor Muhammad Akbar Shah as Ghazi. The inscription is disposed in a characteristic Mughal-style format with the regnal year 1227 (AH) prominently rendered in Eastern Arabic numerals at the base. Decorative foliate flourishes and a small star ornament punctuate the field, lending the design its Indo-Mughal character. The legends are boldly struck but show the typical irregularity of hand-hammered coinage from the Bharatpur mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bharatpur's coinage under Randhir Singh reflects a state that had just successfully repelled a British siege in 1805 — one of the most embarrassing military failures of the East India Company's Indian campaigns. Lord Lake's forces withdrew after repeated assaults on the Lohagarh fort, and Bharatpur retained enough political leverage in the aftermath to continue issuing its own silver currency largely undisturbed for three more decades. The rupees of this reign were struck in the Jat tradition, with minting practices that changed little from those of Suraj Mal's earlier consolidation of the state.
